Given

Statement:

B ≥ F ≥ P ≥ K = V > R < Q ≤ T

Conclusions:

I. P > T → False (As P ≥ K = V > R < Q ≤ T therefore, no definite relation can be drawn. Hence, does not follow).

II. F < Q → False (As F ≥ P ≥ K = V > R < Q therefore, no definite relation can be drawn. Hence, does not follow).

Hence, the correct answer is neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Given

Statement:

H ≤ J ≤ M = S < U < X ≥ A ≥ E

Conclusions:

I. M < A → False (As M = S < U < X ≥ A  therefore, no definite relation can be drawn. Hence, does not follow).

II. S ≥ A → False (As M = S < U < X ≥ A  therefore, no definite relation can be drawn. Hence, does not follow).   

Since, both conclusion I and II are complementary to each other.

Therefore, either conclusion I or II follows.

Hence. the correct answer is either conclusion I or II follows.

Given

Statements:

L ≤ O < Q, Z < V > Y, F ≥ Z ≥ C, O ≤ A < Y

Conclusions:

I. Q > Y → False (As Q > O ≤ A < Y therefore, no definite relation can be drawn between Q and Y. Hence, does not follow).

II. V > L → True (As V > Y ≥ A ≥ O ≥ L its clear V > L. Hence, follows).

Hence, the correct answer is only conclusion II follows.

Given

Statements:

I ≥ M > R, P ≤ S ≤ T, R < K = P, V ≤ L < T

Conclusions:

I. T > M → False (As M > R < K = P ≤ S ≤ T therefore, no definite relation can be drawn between T and M. Hence, does not follow.)

II. K  ≤ L → False (As K = P ≤ S ≤ T > L therefore, no definite relation can be drawn between K and L. Hence, does not follow.)

Hence, the correct answer is Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
